The action of Lingg, the anarchist, in
destroying his life yesterday was in per-
feet keeping with his previous career.
and while he succeeded in cheating the
gallows he did not succeed in removing
the odium that attaches to the miscrant
who expiates his crime on the gallows.
And the means of his taking off shows
clearly what his intention was in the
use of the bombs found in his cell few
days ago. His was indeed a horrible
ending to a miserably desperate exist

New York Democratic politicians have
a handy way of reckoning. Mr.. Dana,
of the Sun, religiously opposed Mr.
Cleveland until he endorsed Col. Fellows,
the Democratic nominee. whom. strange
ly as itmay seem, the Sun had previously
championed, when Mr. Dana suddenly
discovered that the presidents endorse
ment was the very strongest reason why
its candidate should be elected. No pre-
stodigitator was ever more adroit than
the editor of the New York Sun in his
political Vaccinations. His antics are
no less amusing than interesting, as a
matter or speculation.

DR.: Calling, formerly of Doniphan coun-
ty, Kansas, and the inventor of the Calling
gun, has invented what he calls a ..poIice
gun" weighing with the tripod on which
1t stands, but l49 pounds, and firing l 900
shots minute II ought to make the
dynamiters sick,-Newton Republican.
1t does look that way, but a sick dyna-
inter with just one little bomb OF the
Lining make would demolish a whole bat
terry of such guns if he should get the
first fire. And that is what gives the
bomb such terror. Our notion is that
the scaffold and trusty rope will beat
all the Gattling guns or police guns"
that can be made in suppressing the
dynamiters.

The charge that high tariff is respon-
sible for the organization of trusts and
like gigantic schemes to crush CONNECT
ton, is answered by the fact that trusts
that are most arbitrary and unscr,lpu-
lous in their operations are in articles
that are not affected by the tariff. The
gas trusts, the Standard oil trusts. the
cotton seed trust, the anthracite coal
trust, the straw board trust. the electric
light trust and many others, are pools on
articles that are hot on the tariff lists at
all; and they are the trusts which are the
meanest, most grasping and most intol-
cradle to the people. And the effect of
these combinations is illustrated by the
combination of the competing gas COM
panies in Baltimore, which sent the
price of gas up from so cents to $3.50 a
thousand feet. On the other hand. &
high tariff, in so far as it keeps produc-
ton within the limits of the country,
confines all these organizations within
the jurisdiction of the laws to which for
eign combination in foreign products
controlling our markets would not be
anfenabie,

A short time ago the New York World
kissed the president, by proxy, and
grounded it persistent opposition to his
administration. Later, the World ex-
poused the cause of Mr.. Nicoll as against
Col Fellows, the Democratic nominee
for attorney in New York City. Mr..
Cleveland openly endorsed Col. Fellows
candidanty; he was elected. Will the
World continue to kiss the hand that
smote it, or will it renew its kicking:

1t is thought that the coming session
of congress will consider the matter of
regulating the congressional term so as
to do away with the interval of more

for reform here. Representatives elected
on certain issue cannot act upon it I'M

The death few days ago of Jenny
Lind lady Goldsmid0 revives memory
of another and no less notable woman of
the eastern hemisphere, who, if not the
sweet singer as the former, her praises
have been sung in all lands. We refer
to Florence Nightingale, the heroine of
the Crimean war. She has long been an
invalid at her home in London, England,
and the news of her death may soon be
received. Her health has never been
good for thirty-one years, though long
time ago she took fever while nursing
soldiers in the Crimesn war, and has
never recovered soundness of health
The story of her devotion to the gallant
fellows who cruelty need the attentions
Of skilled nurses, is one of the most beau
tiful in the records of philanthropy.

Mr.. Gould stated when he left for
Europe that Missouri Pacific's surplus
exceeded that of last year, covering the
same period, by over $500, 600, after pay
ing operating expenses and all fixed
charges, and that at present it was
easily earning at the rate of 1 per cent a
month. The extension to Pueblo is be-
ing constructed under the charter of the
Denver, Memphis and Atlantic, to which
a very considerable amount of local aid
was voted by the counties through which
the line will extend. The cost to the
Missouri Pacific is only 900 per mile
in per-cent-bonds, making it one of the
cheapest lines built in the west.

Professor Proctor, the astronomer, says:
eff the Americans increase at the pres
ent rate, in three centuries from now
there will be only three square yards of
space to each inhabitant." This prompts
the Emporia Republican to remark that
that will be more than any of us will
need at that time" There is, in fact no
occasion for concern to any of us on that
score, If need be, in order to prevent
such contingency, the tactics of some
of the countries of the old world may
be adapted and go to wal and get
the excess of population killed off, AS a
mathematical calculation the professors
statement may be true, but outside of
that it is of no account.

It was at this very dinner party, by the

proper way, it seems, to discuss that nu-

Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-03-17

Our talented triend, Arthur Kear-
ney, of the San Bernardino Courier,
evidently partakes of the feeling OF
disappointment which the selection
of the bar OF Los Angeles to fill the
vacancy on the Supreme Bench has
engendered in another quarter.
Instead of directly assailing the HER.
AID because it endorsed the bar and
its selection, it apotheosizes a local
contemporary, and tea-fully regrets
that it is not Democratic instead OF
a Republican paper, SO that the
Democracy might have an organ in
Los Angeles that would be wide
viewed, and see other counties besides
it's own in Southern California. Why,
bless you, brother Kearney, it is no
sign of narrow provincialism in us
that we endorsed the selection of the
Los Angeles bar. Let the San Ber-
nardino bar put up fit man and a
Democrat for the position and we will
also say all the good things we can
about him. The HERALD wants a
Justice in the Supreme Court from
Southern California, and will give the
influence OF its praise and help to any
good Democratic candidate that may
be put forward.
